Job description

Northwest Houston | Hybrid – work from home Fridays

A well-established, financially stable manufacturing organization is seeking an experienced Senior FP&A Analyst to join its finance team. This is a highly visible, hands‑on role with significant exposure to executive leadership and an opportunity to take real ownership of the FP&A function.

The ideal candidate is a strong self‑starter who enjoys working independently, digging into the numbers, identifying trends, and translating financial data into meaningful business insights. This position is particularly well suited for an experienced Senior Financial Analyst who wants broad exposure and influence without moving into a people‑management role.

What You’ll Do

• Play a key role in the annual budgeting and quarterly forecasting processes, including preparing and presenting financial information to leadership.
• Coordinate and track monthly financial reporting and support the month‑end close process.
• Prepare monthly and quarterly operating reports, including detailed variance analysis.
• Prepare weekly flash reporting, rolling forecasts, and ad hoc financial analysis.
• Develop financial models and decision‑support analysis for executive leadership.
• Analyze both P&L and balance sheet performance and identify key business drivers and trends.
• Partner with accounting and operational teams to ensure accurate and timely financial reporting.
• Support and help improve financial reporting, ERP, and business intelligence tools.
• Identify opportunities to streamline reporting, improve processes, and enhance the quality of financial information.
• Prepare executive‑level presentations and analysis for special projects and strategic initiatives.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field.
• 8+ years of progressive FP&A experience.
• 2+ years of manufacturing industry experience required.
• Advanced Excel skills required.
• Experience with Power BI, SmartView, Hyperion, Oracle financial reporting tools, or similar platforms.
• Experience with a major ERP platform such as SAP, Oracle, or a comparable system.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is not a narrow FP&A role. You’ll work closely with senior leadership and have the opportunity to own much of the planning, forecasting, reporting, and analytical work for the organization.

The company offers:

• Hybrid schedule – Monday through Thursday in the office with Fridays working from home.
• Highly visible role with direct exposure to executive leadership.
• Significant autonomy and ownership of the FP&A function.
• Established, financially stable manufacturing environment with a long operating history.
• Collaborative culture with the resources of a larger organization while maintaining the flexibility and accessibility of a smaller business.
• Strong benefits package, including medical coverage, a competitive 401(k) program, and tuition reimbursement.
• Generally reasonable work/life balance, with a typical 40–50‑hour workweek.
• Opportunity to make a meaningful impact by improving reporting, processes, analytics, and decision support.
